Solution

The correct option is C one
In case of multiple bonds formed between two atoms, one bond is sigma bond and the rest are pi bonds. This is because only one head-on overlapping can take place between two atoms, rest are lateral overlaps.
A double bond is formed when four electrons are shared between two atoms.
Thus, in a double bond one bond is a sigma bond and other is a pi bond.
